When Clonie Gowen was 23 years old, a graduate of Texas Woman's University and a new mother, she experienced a quick, amicable divorce that left her hankering for an avocation.
Gowen had been indoctrinated into the world of straights and flushes by the parents of a boyfriend she'd had when she was 15.
Gowen's breakthrough came when she was asked to participate in the World Poker Tour's Ladies' Night Invitational in September, a rare single-sex event aimed at the 30 percent of the tour viewers who are women, created by the poker tour's chief executive and founder, Steve Lipscomb.
